Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark ...

Pulsating remnants of stars hint at a clump of invisible matter thought to be about 10 million times the sun’s mass.

For the first time, researchers have found what seems to be a cloud of dark matter about 60 million times the mass of the sun in our galactic neighbourhood ...

A strange, never-before-seen glow in the halo of our galaxy may be the strongest dark-matter breadcrumb yet. A new analysis of 15 years' worth of data from the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope reveals ...

There is a lot we have yet to understand about the center of the Milky Way—could it be due to a mass of invisible dark matter?
